Dr. Deniz Turgut

Dr. Deniz Turgut is a dentist with specialist training in endodontics who practices in the Dental & Oral Health unit at Acibadem Atakent Hospital in İstanbul. Dr. Turgut’s clinical work centers on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the dental pulp and the root canal system, an area of dentistry concerned with preserving teeth whose inner tissue has become inflamed, infected or otherwise compromised. Dr. Turgut has more than ten years of experience in dentistry.

Dr. Turgut graduated from Marmara University Faculty of Dentistry in 2016 and went on to complete specialist training in endodontics at İstanbul University Faculty of Dentistry in 2024. In 2026, Dr. Turgut joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services, where the focus of daily practice is endodontic assessment and treatment for adult patients presenting with pulp-related complaints.

Clinical focus

Dr. Turgut’s areas of expertise are endodontics, dental pulp conditions and root canal treatment. Dental pulp conditions include inflammation or infection of the soft tissue inside the tooth, which may present with pain, sensitivity to temperature, swelling or discomfort when biting. In some cases the pulp is affected without obvious symptoms and is identified during a routine examination or on dental imaging. Endodontic assessment aims to establish whether the pulp is involved, how far any infection has extended and whether the tooth is likely to be suitable for preservation.

Root canal treatment is the procedure most closely associated with endodontics. It involves removing the affected pulp tissue, cleaning and shaping the root canal system and sealing it so that the natural tooth can be retained. Dr. Turgut reviews each case individually, taking into account the condition of the tooth, the surrounding bone and the patient’s general dental health before discussing whether root canal treatment or another approach is appropriate. Patients are informed about the expected steps of treatment, the number of visits that may be needed and the follow-up that is generally advised after an endodontic procedure.

How Dr. Turgut works with international patients

Dr. Turgut consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior dental reports and imaging, such as X-ray reports and notes from previous treatments, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of existing imaging and any earlier dental work, a clinical examination of the affected tooth and surrounding tissues, and a discussion of the available options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Turgut before traveling, which can help clarify whether an in-person examination and treatment are likely to be suitable. Any final treatment decision is made only after a clinical examination and review of current imaging.
